Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Visits Phillies’ Spring Training Camp

CLEARWATER, Fla. (CBS/AP) —Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild at Phillies’ spring training camp?

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan visited the Phillies in Clearwater on Friday, spending time chatting with Phillies manager Gabe Kapler, coaches and players.

Hogan took pictures with third base coach Dusty Wathan and reliever Pat Neshek, and even talked it up with former manager Charlie Manuel.

Hogan said the national pastime was his favorite sport growing up but he turned to wrestling after suffering a broken arm.

“I played full-time baseball until my final year of high school. I pitched and played third base,” Hogan said before the Phillies hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates in a spring training game on Friday.
